I don't like the name much, but I don't dislike it much either. If you're going for a unique but not completely bonkers name, it's okay I guess. Better than Pie.

In kindergarten, one of my daughter's classmates was named Abcde. (pronounced ab suh dee) I even heard them making fun of it on the radio the next year.

"Like" is up there on the list of odd, unthrilling names...but nothing beats Abcde. We always joked that when they had more kids they'd name them Fghijk and Lmnopq.

Good grief! I can't laugh too loud, we are doing some genealogy, and have uncovered some doozies. We recently connected with a distant cousin called IceQueen (real given name). Working in child health there were many head-shakers!

Well, I guess it's not as bad as Trig, or Track or Tripp or Tw@t. Oh, I mean Bristol.

HAHA I am imagining how you might try to pronounce "Fghijk."

I think Like is a pretty boring name. Obviously it is unique, but that doesn't stop it from being boring!

I wonder if anyone's yet named their first-born Login, and their last-born Logout.

I guess it's inevitable that someone will!
